I Am Blogging My Ass Off

It seems incredible, that I consider a laptop to be my most valuable weapon in my healthy living arsenal.

No, I can’t run on it, but I can be inspired by people like Sam, Suzi and Sheryl, who encourage me to push myself a little farther down the road.

No, there aren’t any exercises I can do with it (well, I’m sure MizFit has a vlog somewhere showing the proper form for laptop curls), but it’s the place I go for motivation and encouragement.

I don’t use my laptop for a plate (well… not all the time at least), but it helps me stay focused on what I’m doing and where I’m going. It helps me find new healthy recipes and arms me with nutritional information.

It keeps me connected to people who share my ambitions and struggles, who (for some strange reason) seem to care about my troubles and my triumphs.

I may spend a little too much of my time behind the wheel of my blog, but I know that it’s helped me stay on the road to where I want to go.

I agree most certainly! My laptop is one of my most prized tools in my tool bag for this journey! And a little more...my smart phone. I struggle during the day at work each and every day. MY worse place to be and my biggest trouble spot with this journey BUT I pop into my blog world to help get me through those days. Right now, it is the ONLY thing that is helping to keep me on track.

I wholeheartedly agree. I admit blogging to help myself get healthy physically and mentally was only one of my excuses for splurging on a MacBook pro, but it is incredible what it has brought me; support, advice, encouragement, understanding and I really don't feel so isolated in my journey any more!

About Me

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jack,
Who never quit eating ‘cept to stop and have a snack.
Then one day he was standing on his scale,
And he realized he’d really let his body go to hell.
(Obesity that is, back fat, Texas toast)
Well the first thing you know old Jack he made a vow,
He’d ratchet up the exercise and slow down on the chow.
He wanted to get his weight back to where it oughta be,
So he loaded up his stuff and he moved to Bloggery.
(Google Blogger that is, writing posts, makin’ jokes)
Well now it's time to say hello to Jack and all his sh*t
As he chronicles his adventures on his journey to get fit.
You're all invited back each day to this locality,
To have a heaping helping of health and hilarity.
(Jack Sh*t, Gettin’ Fit, that is.)
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
